I have had this crazy idea for a tournament and want to try to get it going at the local pool hall but want some input on finalizing the idea first. My idea is to have a 9-ball break/run tournament weekly. Here's how it works:
Players will each be given 5 racks too see how may points they can score from making balls on the break. IE. 1 point per ball made on the break. Sinking the 9 ball would be worth 5 points.
After breaking and totalling points the player would get one chance to run the rack with or without ball in hand (this is where i really need input) to score 3 more bonus points for the run out. Player with the most points after the 5 racks wins.
Also I need ideas on how to handicap this.....
I was thinking charge 10-15 per player and add 2-3 from each player towards a grand finale where players could have 10 racks ea. or something.
Anybody like/dislike this idea? It would go quick but still be a lot of fun to watch.
Thanks!
